Fishing Report November 11-15

With some cooler weather behind us and now a stretch of very calm winds the Reef fishing has been on Fire!

Cliff and Cathy Fox and Freddy DuPreez have been enjoying excellent "action fishing" the past few days. To make things even more fun the crew used a very light rod made by FOX Rage. As you will see in a few of the pictures these rods can take incredible punishment while pumping up big Red Groupers.

FOX Sport Fishing Diablo spinning reels are the toughest reels out there and I can not say enough of how well they hold up. We spent 2 days on the reef patches catching all sorts of species and one day in the backcountry on the gulf side enjoying a "hot" bite of Spanish Mackerel and Blacktip Sharks.

Here are some pictures of the variety we have been catching here in the Florida Keys using FOX Sport Fishing Tackle
